What grinds your gears?

[Blackbirdws6]

Besides a broken trans and a mis-shift, what grinds your gears? I'll start.

Had to go to a family birthday party in S. Jersey. My wife went home with her mother the night before (she lives in S. Jersey) so I would be riding solo down the NJ turnpike. The G8 was clean and it was a beautiful day so off I went. Now I will admit, I was feeling a bit saucy being by myself with no performance limiter in the passenger seat (aka wife yelling) and some angry music. Before we get too far, I will be clear no street racing took place.

Over the next hour, no less than 3 cars made it clear they wanted to "play" but either wanted me to chase them at ludicrous speed or would do a flyby and then weave through traffic.

1st one was a Challenger R/T that looked fairly stock. I would speed up a little to catch up and say hi. The faster I would creep up, the faster he went. It was clear he didn't want to get side-by-side so I decided to open it up to stop the cat and mouse. He went into the right lane and slowed down....ok. 2 mins later he must have got WOT and passed me while then taking the next exit. Ehh whatever.

2nd was a newer, lowered white WRX. Similar situation as the challenger except he decided it would be fun to see how many cars he could cut off to get away from me. I don't do that nonsense so again...whatever.

3rd and final, last gen 335i coupe slammed to the ground with a flat black wrap. Looks like it was modded. I know those cars with some mods can be pretty quick. He made it a point to catch up to me and I was clear of my intentions. Like the WRX, he wanted to weave in and out of traffic.

I guess I need to make a trip to the drag strip...

We should figure out how to stance an fbody, make all the millions...of pesos. :rofl:

[foxriderry]

I absolutely hate when people go weaving in and out of traffic like that in a car. Especially when they know your car is faster so they have to prove they're more bad ass by risking their car and life, along with yours, and every other motorist on the road. With that being said I'm also not surprised that you found a bimmer doing that, I'm sorry but the majority of those that I come across just drive without a care.

What also grinds my gears is when you get a part for your car, in this case my expensive ass 9" rear, and the shock mounting holes are to small for the shock mount!!!! Now I have to go find a big drill bit and drill out the holes. I thought I was paying for stuff like this to already be done?!?!

Front office is chasing us down for making exact 40hours a week, etc etc, boss just says give me at least 160 per pay period. Its BS kiddy ****.

[V]

The amount of stuff I have accumulated over the years.

Mainly car parts and tools/equipment. It takes me on average15-20 minutes just to find a tool I need or a part I sold online. The garage is the size that in the past it has fit 4 cars plus a 60 gal compressor, engines/trans, and other parts all at the same time yet currently, I trip over no less than 4 random things just tryign to walk from on end to the other. The basement has a ton of parts, as well as the celler, backyard, and secondary garage. I just filled a 13yard dumpster like 3 months ago during a cleanout and it didn't seem to make a dent. I wish I could bring myself to just throw out everything I'm not currently using but its hard. Ive been parting out/selling parts since 2001 and I've seen the value of decent OEM parts for 3rd, and recently 4th, gen cars begin to rise dramatically. I can't bring myself to throw out potential money. I don't have an established career just yet so sometimes if I need a few extra bucks, I grab a few parts out, post them one ebay or online, and I have an extra couple hundred bucks. I know I just have to suck it up and start tossing more stuff but it won't be easy, especially at this time in my life being married, having a 4 month old son, going to school full-time, and working in my free time. Makes me almost hate cars.

When I finally start to get financially on my feet and get kicked down on my ass again.

Case in point: My wife's exploder was on the verge of exploding. While unexploded, it has some value, so... Out I go to trade it (and cash) in for another lower mileage used Explorer. The timing of the thing sucks, and has now slowed down my financial plans for paying off all debt and preparing to retire in about 4.5 years.

[NJSPEEDER]

I hate sitting on conference calls that could have been emails that were called and are being moderated by the person that asked for what was done in the first place and is now confused as to what happened and why. Even better when the only person who's normal lunch schedule this doesn't interefere with is the one to set up the call.

GGGrrrrrrrrrr

Road wise, truck traffic. Went down to NC last week, routes 78, 81. Some areas are 70mph, some 65. 2 big rigs together and 1 decides to pass...going up a hill...in the wrong gear...loses momentum. Now instead of passing the lead truck you have 2 trucks side by side doing 50-55 for the next 2 miles. Over and over. GRINDS MY GEARS

[Blackbirdws6]

Ahh gotcha. I've had similar. We do not bill our client hourly for the work we do in NJ however I'm told to only put 40 hours on my timesheet. I'm clearly doing more than 40 hours and would like it to be shown.

The amount of stuff I have accumulated over the years.

Sounds like you need to get some friends together to help organize/post stuff up for sale. I've never seen the amount of parts you have but I imagine it is significant.

I swear whenever I get a good deal of cash at one time, someone sends a message out and an unexpected expense comes up. :)

25% of my time during the week is meetings. Another 15% is prepping for a meeting lol. Management is good and bad.

2 miles isn't too bad but with a ride like that, I can understand the frustration.

[ar0ck]

A car that fights you every step of the way, you go to tackle one problem only to discover another underneath it, constantly slowing down progress.

And right now with the amount of weddings I have to attend this year, because getting married seems to be the cool thing to do these days is cutting into extra money for the car between hotels, gifts, and bachelor parties!

[NastyEllEssWon]

Allergies this past week. Seriously...can everything NOT be covered in green **** this week? kthanksbye

Had enough money saved for the car I want and the Ion died, leaving me to spend money on a brand new car.

[NJSPEEDER]

Docs have to be broken in. Key is to have a daily pair and another pair to leave nice for going out

Every dunkin donuts employee that is responsible for putting soft spreadable cream cheese on my bagel, you are a disgrace. If your job is to toast a bagel then spread the soft spreadable cream cheese, you should spread that ****ing soft spreadable cream cheese evenly about the cross section. I do not want to open my wrapped bagel ten minutes down the road just to find a wad of soft spreadable cream cheese that you somehow managed to cake in the center hole of my bagel. Please spread the soft spreadable cream cheese.

Even worse, when they take the tub of butter and place it on your bagel. Its not cream cheese, its disgusting, and I even order it with "less spread" yet it seems to be more than one could ever need on a dozen bagels. Maybe dd should use bilingual ordering screens so everyone understands what the **** I want!

[LTb1ow]

Big 18 wheeler with oversized load flags, but carrying a pool that stretches into other lanes... Which of course freaks people out and then suddenly lose connection to their feet and can't pass it.

At least the ABS works. Ugh.

[greenformula92]

Specifically while driving the 18 wheeler. People who drive in the middle lane but are going slow enough to be in the right. Forcing me to pass them illegally to the right or get out into the left lane illegally. Another good one is someone going slow. You move over to pass them and they speed up. So you move back into the right lane where you belong and the slow back down again. This continues for 50 miles....the truck is limited at 66...maybe idk put your damn phone down and do at least 66...its not like I'm doing 80 here. Another one is the fact that ppl assume because its big that it must be slow so they pull right out in front you....its not exactly a walk in the park to get 80,000 pounds slowed down from 50 to 10 cause you don't know how to step on it. Another good one is people stopping in the ez pass express lane, specifically the toll on the turnpike right after metlife cause they screwed up. You can't stop there...its like stopping in the left lane of the highway. I can't tell you how many people almost wound up wearing my KW hood ornament because of that. Getting it stopped isn't like stopping your Honda, how about a little common sense

These are the same things that grind the gears of every truck driver I have ever met. Isn't the statistic something like 95% of truck accidents are caused by people driving cars?

Driving the PA turnpike during rush hour I routinely see people almost get themselves creamed by trucks. My favorite still being the douche nozzle in an Audi that hit the back of an 18 wheeler weaving in and out of lanes because he was in such a big hurry in a traffic jam. Although the karma of watching the idiots radiator explode was glorious I am guessing it screwed the trucker over by delaying the load.

That's not illegal in NJ on roads of 2 lanes or more.

[transampete]

Cruising along with the cruise control on and getting ready to overtake someone when they suddenly speed up move in front of you and then slows down to the speed they were going when you were overtaking them in the first place. Like somehow they were policing your speed or something. This problem works in reverse too. Cruising along with the cruise on when suddenly someone is tailgating you and so you move over right but they don't pass instead they block you behind a slower car. WTF pass me already. Oh yeah, left lane dicks too. If you're not passing people move the f#ck over. I'm not flashing my high-beams just to say hi. I drive all over this state for work and I actually have someplace to be. So get out of the way!!!

One more thing, put down the phone and drive.

[transampete]

That's not illegal in NJ on roads of 2 lanes or more.

Although I do it too. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to pass on the right any time.

I didn't comment further because of the ambiguous way it's written. That's just what's in the book.

Looks like it's legal but only if certain conditions are met. What's the definition of "substantially continuous line"?

Looks to me that its one of those laws that's left to the officer to interpret. And I think we all know what what amounts to

[1320B4U]

Out of everything posted, the bagel and cream cheese bit pisses me off as well. I like 'less spread'..please do not build up the cream cheese like its boars heads' finest. Cream cheese (imo) is like mayo or mustard, less is more.


..oh, and people that refuse to grow up. Stop living at home when your 30++++, move on w/the rest of your life. If you run into a hard patch that is fine, but refusing to leave after a few years b/c one doesn't have a game plan is downright crazy. I have a few friends that like that (or used to). Stop driving something that costs more than what's in your 401k, there is plenty of time to acquire fun ***** when your more liquid, we're too old to be that stupid. 40 is coming up quick. I've learned to surround yourself w/positivity, which is so much more healthy for body and mind.

[heavy_chevy29]

-in general, people. more specifically the people that feel the need to voice their opinion when it really is not necessary.
- people who drive really slow, or text, or are on the phone
-people who talk extremely loud when on a cell phone in a public place. like they are some how showing the world how important they really are.
- people who have a CDL that can't back a truck and trailer up in a timely fashion (or drive the truck in general).
-anyone I used to work for
- customers that need things fixed the same day and bitch about the price (when i show up to their house and complete the repair same day)
-gas prices
-anything government related (especially OBAMA CARE)
-paying taxes
-lack of quality in products compared to 20-30 years ago
-the fact that society accepts that lack of quality is ok
-anything insurance related
-the cream cheese thing is a good one
-the one thing that really gets me going is when you are standing on line at a store (what ever it may be). there is a big line. everyone is waiting to pay and leave, but there is one ******* that feels the need to pay with change, exact change, or won't leave the counter until they count and verify the change that was given. for some reason this sole act really gets under my skin more so than the rest

thats just the tip of the ice burg. i could go on for days.

[1320B4U]

Interested in the lack of quality items now than 30 years ago. Just wanted to see what you meant being it was the 80's where quality wasn't known to be that great.

[BigAls87Z28]

Interested in the lack of quality items now than 30 years ago. Just wanted to see what you meant being it was the 80's where quality wasn't known to be that great.

I think things are built better now than they have ever been.

I associate that with the same "the (insert government agency) killed the muscle car!" or "things are too damn expensive now!" rant.

In fact, people who say things like the aforementioned quotes grind my gears.

[heavy_chevy29]

its simply an opinion which is neither right or wrong. you are right that in the 80s things weren't that great quality wise (keep in mind i was born in 85). so i should have worded that a bit differently. i do strongly feel that quality issues in general are lacking these day and people seem to be ok with it. maybe i have high standards. maybe i'm crazy, but i run into this on a daily basis. i work in the home service business and i meet a lot of people. i generally think that the older products are simpler and last longer. don't get me wrong, there are a ton of things that are way better due to the technology that we have today, but the thread isn't titled "what does not grind your gears". so i do stand corrected, 20-30 years may not be the best example. maybe more like form the 50s-70s. even the people had better attitudes.

[qwikz28]

A recent one I thought of is people that stand too closely when in line at a retail store, or coffee shop, etc. A little personal space is greatly appreciated, and tailgating isn't going to make the line go quicker. Recently, a larger gentleman was behind my fiance and I in a chipotle-style restaurant where you work your way down a line. His belly was nearly touching her and although she was less bothered by it, she saw I was about to explode so she stepped to the side. I just don't understand why...

[sweetbmxrider]

I think I understand what he is saying. There was a higher level of quality in products, be it tools, cars, appliances, etc. Things from 50+ years ago still work exactly the same today. Things from 5-10 years ago have already been replaced again. There is no lasting quality. I have lots of old power tools from my grandfather and they work perfectly. There was a certain simplicity to things along with quality materials and assembly.

[NastyEllEssWon]

everything is disposable these days. even cars. you get in an accident, it folds right up and you get a new one. thats todays mindset. its always newer, bigger and better. things back in the day were at least designed with longevity in mind. thats no longer an important part of research and development these days.


keeping with the theme of the thread though...

Yup, transmission in the Olds finally gave up about 2 months ago. 2015 Nissan Versa, possibly the least exciting car I have ever owned but averaging 43mpg is nice.

People who have a long entrance ramp, and then choose to pace you right until the lane ends, jump in front of you, and proceed to go ten under long enough for you to slam your brakes, and then all of sudden the idiot remembers what a gas pedal does.

Kills me.
